The year 2000 session of the Fall Workshop on Geometry and Physics was organised by the research group on Differential Geometry, Dynamical Systems, and Applications of the Department of Applied Mathematics IV (formerly Department of Applied Mathematics and Telematics) of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC).

This web page contains the information about the workshop.   The workshop finished, and the proceedings have been published (both in paper and electronic form), so the page is nearly in its final form.
It keeps all the information it contained in the past, but note that the external links may have become unavailable.   Note also that the the email address of the Workshop (geomphys2000@mat.upc.es) as well as the CGI forms (for the inscription, the submission of posters, etc) are no longer active.

There are several informations spread through the page, but perhaps the most relevant ones are also here:

• Proceedings: information and complete text of each contribution
• Lists of talks (with abstracts) and posters.
• List of participants, with their emails

Presentation

In the year 2000, as a satellite activity of the 3rd European Congress of Mathematics, the Fall Workshop celebrated a special session to convey the achievements of these years to a wider audience.   This resulted in a change of date (it will be held in summer, some days before the 3ecm), of language (mainly English) and of the structure of the programme.

Location and dates

Vilanova i la Geltrú is a coastal town, half a way between Barcelona and Tarragona, near the tourist village of Sitges.  It has a population of 50000, and is the capital of the Garraf region. The sessions were held at the lecture hall of the Technical College of Vilanova i la Geltrú from Thursday 6 July morning to Saturday 8 July noon.
The college is in the centre of the town, near the train station, in the Avinguda de Víctor Balaguer.  It is between the Rambla and the Plaça d'Eduard Maristany on this map.  More information about the college is available here (in English).

Some information useful while the celebration of the workshop is available here.

Programme

The workshp consisted of 16 invited talks and a session of (10) posters.   The participants were encouraged to present posters. The organising committee planned to publish the proceedings of the workshop, including the talks and short versions of the posters.   This was successfully done! Note however that, for different reasons, some of the contributions to the Workshop did not appear in the Proceedings.
